Please join us in honoring the legacy and 55th Anniversary of the Chicano Moratorium!

55 years ago on August 29, 1970, over 20,000 Chicanxs marched in East LA for a mass protest against the Vietnam war and to call attention that chicanos where dying in highest numbers on the front lines. The peaceful protest full of cultural performances and speeches that ended at laguna park (Ruben salazar park) full of Mexican-American pride and peace/solidarity to Vietnam turned deadly when the police intervened taking the lives of Ruben Salazar, Angel Gilberto Diaz, and Lyn Ward. 

Today, we pay tribute to the anti-military movement created in the 1970’s by Chicano students and activists fighting against the Vietnam war and We continue to say NO to WAR, NO to Imperialism, NO to Militarization and NO to genocide!

AQUÍ ESTAMOS Y NO NOS VAMOS!
